LDV Maxus comes with five-year 100,000 mile warranty - flexibility and fast response underpin after-sales service

Specialist light commercial vehicle maker LDV has introduced a market-leading five-year, 100,000 mile non-transferable manufacturer's warranty* on its award-winning Maxus range of vans. For a limited period it will be offered on all Maxus sales.*

The extended warranty is part of LDV's Additions + after-sales support programme provided through the company's 61 UK dealers and it's direct sales team. Other enhancements to the programme cover flexible warranty, service, repair and maintenance packages along with faster roadside assistance through LDV VANaid.

Making the announcement at the 2006 Commercial Vehicle Show at Birmingham's NEC, LDV Executive Director Sales & Marketing Tony Lewis described the extended warranty as: "evidence of the complete confidence that the company has in the robustness and reliability of our Maxus product range.

"From the design of Maxus through to its assembly, product quality and reliability have been two key drivers," he said. "As a result Maxus is a vehicle that will deliver outstanding performance throughout its normal lifespan.
"This means that we can confidently offer an extended manufacturer's warranty that covers five years in service or 100,000 miles. It's a level of back-up that will deliver peace of mind to operators, removing concerns about their vans and leaving them to focus on their core business activity.

"Underpinning this extended warranty is a vigorous new approach to after-sales support that combines flexibility with fast response. Through the Centres of Excellence that many of our dealers will become this year we intend to offer enhanced warranty, service and repair and maintenance support packages that are very flexible and will meet the needs of the individual buyer right through to the large fleets. Van users/buyers will be able to choose from a menu of support options and select those that exactly meet their business needs, whether that's financial or operational.

"Running alongside these programmes LDV has VANaid assistance. We have a dedicated incident management control centre guiding factory trained technicians who are fully conversant with the LDV product range and who in turn give an unparalleled service with 75% of repairs carried out at the roadside. Our mobile recovery workshops are stocked with over £2,000 of LDV parts"

* The five-year, 100,000 mile extended warranty will be available on all Maxus products registered before September 2006. The warranty will only apply to vehicles that have a full service history throughout the warranty period.
